Grindhouse is such a Film Snob-friendly entertainment that more than one reviewer, including this one, has led off his review of the film with our definition of the term “grindhouse” from The Film Snob’s Dictionary.

In the interest of upholding the banner of Film Snobbery, Lawrence Levi, the city-rat half of the Film Snob brain trust–born and raised in Manhattan when Manhattan had an authentic middle class–attempted to revisit the scuzzy thrillz of his youth by seeing the Tarantino-Rodriguez homage-sploitation epic in a midtown theater on what was once known, in the Abe Beame years, as “the Deuce.” Go to Lawrence’s blog, Looker, to read his verdict.

Eno, Brian. Egghead producer and electronics whiz with appropriately futuristic name and aerodynamic pate. Eno started out as the keyboard player for Roxy Music and went on to make his name as a producer (Talking Heads, Devo, U2) and pioneer of ambient music, the soundtrack for everything from aromatherapy to recreational drug use to booting up Windows 95. Eno enjoys his greatest Rock Snob status, however, for his ’70s solo albums, Another Green World, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), Here Come the Warm Jets, and Before and After Science.
